here you go man...looks like you can get a drop in K&N air breather for around 48 bucks at autozone.. or like 45 for an airraid .,,or a spector for like 23...then do the gotts mod... and you will get as just as much as the intake in my opinion .. but i looked up a few on ebay for you


just looked really quick on ebay

Thanks

Better air flow usually means more dirt in your engine. With the Gotts mod, for $15 you can have 'better' air flow and keep the OEM filter.

Most aftermarket filters do not filter as well the OEM filter; how else would they allow more air to flow.

A good flowing exhaust, CAI, and programmer are the top 3
improvements for performance and possible gas mileage gains (if you can keep your foot off of the pedal). If your plans are to eventually do all three, then there is no order that needs to be followed to purchase these items. Go with any one of the three first, as budget allows.
